[Proof of soil sickness in growing apple plantations (author's transl)].

1. Soils from five apple orchards of different age and from different sites were tested with respect to the occurrence of soil sickness. 2. Severe or very severe soil sickness could be proved in four of the sites. In one site weak soil sickness could be obtained. 3. These results confirm earlier observations on the occurrence of soil sickness within the regions of growing root systems of older trees. 4. The occurrence of soil sickness in growing plantations can be brought in good correspondence with the ascertainment that microorganisms associated with roots are to be considered as the cause of soil sickness. 5. The significance of the occurrence of soil sickness in growing plantations for development and yield of trees must be investigated in further experiments.

[Serum protein changes in liver transplantation in the dog].

Hemorrhage and shock gave rise to quantitative determination of serum protein changes by means of the two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis according to Laurell. 5 proteins showed significant changes. There were no new protein peaks or products of decomposition of other serum proteins. The liver injured by ischemia can not alone be responsible for the shift of serum proteins. Rather probably the majority of lost proteins remains in the splanchnic area.

[Surgical treatment of gastric cancer-personal results (author's transl)].

In the years from 1964 to 1973, 672 patients with gastric cancer were treated in the Surgical Department of Medical Academy Dresden. Tumors were located in the gastric antrum in 28.9%, in the cardia-fundus region in 28,1%, in the corpus ventriculi in 18.3%, and had involved the stomach totally in 18.6%. A resection was performed in 268 cases or 50.0%. Postoperative fatality rate was 20.1% but amounted to 30% in resection of the proximal part of the stomach and in total gastrectomy. The 5-year relative survival rate was 35.0% in distal partial gastrectomy, 10.4% in proximal partial gastrectomy, 8.2% in total gastrectomy, and 20.1% for all resections. Prognosis depends on local extension and on lymph node metastasis. Results are compared with data from the literature.

[Clinical study with Spectacillin on patients with infections of the urogenital system (author's transl)].

Report is given of clinical experiences gained with the new developed semi-syntheticpenicillin "Spectacillin" on 75 patients suffering from an urological disease. The drug has been applied for therapy of acute and chronic forms of inflammations of the bladder and the urethra, additionally the prostatitis, the epididymitis, but first of all the pyelonephritis (caused bacterially). Within the germ spectrum of these diseases, germs of the coli-type, streptococcus faecalis (enterococcus), staphylococcus aureus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, proteus, pseudomonas and aerobacter were found. Patients with acute/subacute diseases have been treated 8 to 9 days (3-4 grams per day) on an average; in case of chronic diseases, the patients received initially 1 gram a day and thereupon during 3 to 4 weeks 3 to 4 grams per day. The well-succeeded results have been documentated by means of the clinical course, the germ-elimination and the laboratory findings. The exanthematous quote may be demonstrated as remarkably low, considering the good universal compatibility of the substance. For this reason "Spectacillin" not finally is suitable for treatment of acute and chronic infections of the urogenital systems.
